Frank B. Kellogg tells William Loeb that, upon reflection, he does not believe it is a good idea for President Roosevelt to mention Kellogg’s name in his communication with Senator Eugene Hale regarding the payment of special government attorneys. Kellogg explains the facts of the case to Loeb, and mentions that there are many other employees working for the government on similarly small salaries. He would prefer to avoid notoriety, and reiterates that, unless necessary, he would prefer to not be mentioned in the report.
